ALVEY Runaway.

On Monday afternoon, at about half-past
four o'clock, as VIM. Stobner was driving
the U. y. Express wagon down Normal
hill, a hold-back broke letting the wagon
on the horses heels, and starting IL on
run. 1t came down the hill at full speed
and at Aliens store took the pavement.
1t made clean sweep of everything on the
sidewalk, and the following damage was
done; Mrs. II. A. Snyder's show case,
standing on pavement, B. ii. Vannattas
wall paper sign, Mrs. Maize's millinery
show case, Henry Rosenstock's photog-
raphic show case. Some boxes of crOquet
sets in front Of Mercer's were scattered,
and the boxes damaged. Jacoby's fish mar
ket had a narrow escape. All this time the
wagon was still fast to the horse, and
Stonner was still in the wagon. When
they reached the awning in front of J. ID.
Wilson's shoe store the supports were torn
| out, the hind wheel of the wagon caught
on an iron hitching post the awning fell
| down, the horse tore loose from the wagon,
and ran the entire length OF Main street
| on the pavement, down to the fair grounds
| up Third street to Market, and then up
Main in front of Hendershotrs drug store,
when 1t was csught. Mr.. Stohner was not
hur, any, and the horse was cut but little,
but the wagon and harness were left in bad
shape. There were many people on the
street at the time, especially children, and
| 1t is remarkable that no one was run over.

what they Say ABOUT IL.

DR.. Leavitt writes: 81 have frequently
prescribed Perrine's Pure Barley Malt in
my practice and consider it a superior and
reliable article and heartily recommend it
in fevers, acute inflammations and depress-
ing maladies, and its flavor is pleasant and
agreeable and suited to all cases requiring
alcoholic stimulant" Francis Wyatt, the
eminent chemist, says; at would be diff
cult to find a preparation of greater or more
absolute purity than Perrlne's Pure Barley
Malt, and in cases of malaria, indigestion
and nervous diseases it can be used with
full confidence" Perrine's Pure Barley
Malt is RI commended to the medical pro.
fession as preparation free from all I'M
purlties. 1t will eradicate all forms OF
malaria and revive the energies of those
worn out with excessive bodily or mental
effort Ask your nearest druggist for il

Frank l. Frayne's ''Mardo" company
will play in the Opera House Saturday,
April 80. The company played in Phila-
delpha last week and the week before,
and were highly spoken of In the papers
They drew large audiences there. The
Grill Serrice Gazette, London, gives the fol-
lowing account of their engagement there'
"The realistic American drama entitled
"Mardo, or the Nihilists of st. Peters
burg" which has been played to thronle
and delighted audiences throughout Eu-
rope and America, was produced here on
Monday night last, when Frank l, Frayne
and his dramatic company appeared in It,
The latter gentleman who played the part
of Mardo the hunter, undergoes numer-
GUS perils and hairbreadth escapes, in
which he is materially aided on numerous
occasions by the sagacity of his faithful
dog, Jack, an animal who displays large
amount of intelligence. The action OF the
play begins in America, and finishes in St
Petersburg, In which place Mardo enters a
lions den in order to obtain some papers
relating to Nihilist plot"
The company carry their own scenery
and several realistic scenes are given, In
cluding the burning bridge, burning hut
and others.

Work on the Bloomsbury & Sullivan
Railroad is now going on rapidly. A few
weeks ago it was connected with the d. l..
81 w. r. r. at the wooden mills. and since
then ties have been put down and rails
laid rapidly. Railroad street is almost
completely covered with railroad ties from
one end to the other, which will soon be
laid.
An important change was recently made
at the Red Rock bridge, crossing Fishing
creek at Railroad street 1t had been for
merly intended to build stone wall along
the bank Of the creek, and so widen the
road bed that it would be necessary to cut
off but few feet OF rock; but it was found
that the ground at the foundation of the
wall was not solid enough to sustain the
weight of heavy trains passing over it, and
it was therefore decided, instead of build
ing wall to cut off eight or ten feet oi
rock to make room for the curve at thai
point. Blasting has therefore been going
on for some time there.
The blasting is done with dynamit,
cartridges. Holes are drilled in the grounC
| the cartridges put in these and the wire
of galvanic battery attached to them
Then the electric current is turned on ant
in few moments the explosion takes plac
and huge mass of earth and rock rises int
the air. Sometimes the pieces of rock fly
long distance.
Now that the rails are being laid, tn
railroad will be rapidly put through an
before many months have passed we vii
be able to go by rail from Bloomsbury t,
the foot OF North Mountain.
